Best Practices for Browser Management Best Practices for Browser Management Three Options to Ensure a Robust Experience for Users of PatientKeeper v8.0 PatientKeeper is a true thin client application. As a result, end user experience is a function of both PatientKeeper software and the browser within which PatientKeeper runs. Browser technology has advanced significantly in the past five years and today’s modern browsers (IE9+, Chrome, Firefox and Safari) allow for a much richer user experience. In turn, PatientKeeper v8.0 incorporates new technology which takes advantage of these advances to significantly improve the user experience. At this point in time, this new technology is primarily employed by our charge capture application (to make the transition to the complexities of ICD-10 straightforward for physicians) and the new self-service patient list creation functionality. Other PatientKeeper applications rely less heavily on the new technology – although that will change in the future. PatientKeeper has been able to ensure that our applications that leverage this new technology will still function in the five- to seven-year-old IE7 and IE8 browsers. However these browsers are inefficient when running modern applications. In fact, Google’s applications no longer support IE8 as of Nov 15, 2012. Not surprisingly, PatientKeeper’s applications run more slowly on IE7/IE8 than on more modern browsers. The slower the machine’s processor and the less memory it has, the greater the performance penalty will be (see chart on page 3). At this time, there are three options to ensure a robust experience for your users in PK v8.0: 1) Upgrade to IE9 or IE10 and run the browser in IE8 or IE7 compatibility mode for any applications or sites that require older browser technology. 2) Continue to run IE7 or IE8 and add the Google Chrome Frame plug-in. 3) Use an alternate browser (e.g. Chrome) to run the PatientKeeper application. Note that it is not possible to upgrade Internet Explorer past IE8 on PCs still running Windows XP so option #1 is not possible on these old machines. However, Windows XP itself will no longer be supported by Microsoft after April 2014, so most organizations are in the process of upgrading these PCs. The Path of Least Resistance The Chrome Frame plug-in is likely the path of least resistance for most organizations. It can be installed either manually on individual PCs or pushed out to all PCs via Internet Explorer enterprise management. The plug-in is passive on the desktop and will not affect any application/website except those that are explicitly designated to use it. Google will stop support of this plug-in in January 2014, mainly due to the decreasing use of IE8. However, the plug-in is open-source and will be supported by and available from PatientKeeper until it is no longer needed by our customers. Chrome Frame Plug-In Information 1) Installing the plug-in does not install Chrome browser on the user’s computer. End users cannot use the plug-in to use Chrome to browse the web or access any web application. 2) Only applications or web pages that are specifically written to take advantage of the plug in will use it. 3) When a user opens an application or web page that is specifically written to take advantage of the plug in, it is almost impossible to tell that it is not running in IE8 (except of course that the page will load much faster). Trained users can tell by the slight differences in formatting/rendering of things like scroll bars in Chrome (scroll bars are slightly thinner in Chrome than in IE) or by opening task manager and observing that there is a Chrome process running. 4) The plug-in can be distributed using Group Policy Objects (GPO). 5) The MSI installer is available from Google’s website at http://www.google.com/chromeframe/eula.html?msi=true. There is also more information about the plug-in on this site. 6) For the plug-in to work, the IE setting “Enable Third-Party Browser Extensions” under Internet Options Advanced Panel must be enabled. This is enabled by default when installing IE7 or IE8.

Like most good stories, the story of house calls has a humble beginning. in 1940 the majority of provider visits saw their patients in their homes. in 1960 house calls by providers were 40% of the doctor-patient meetings. in 1980 that number dropped to less than 1%. Benefits of house calls • Offers insights not available during an office visit • Provides accessible healthcare for the patient • Helps to save money by helping to keep those who are having a minor ailment from turning into a major operation. The decline of the house call • Lack of efficiency • Time required • Fewer family physicians • Poor reimbursement • Biomedical knowledge and technology • Growth of 3rd party payers • Heightened liability concerns Why are house calls coming back? • Projected increase in the number of elderly • Consumer demand • Hospital readmission reduction • The concept also has had "absolute rock-solid bipartisan support" among federal lawmakers.

  • Why Google Chrome?  It Serves As the Base for the Upcoming OS
    GOOGLE MAY BE TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD Joshua Neds-Fox Wayne State Univ. and Why That’s Not Necessarily a Bad Thing GOOGLE IS… You know what Google is. Google is the de facto go-to search interface for the web. Google's mission: to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. 2009 saw significant improvements to Google’s search algorithm, along with the introduction of real-time search. GOOGLE IS… Advertising. It’s the business model. AdWords and AdSense are their chief products. Google’s number one revenue stream: Advertising. $22.9 Billion in advertising revenue in 2009. That’s 96.7% of their total revenue. (http://investor.google.com/fin_data.html) Image credits: http://www.squidoo.com/recycle-everything, http://www.businessinsider.com/chart-of-the-day-in-case-you-had-any- doubts-about-where-googles-revenue-comes-from-2010-2 GOOGLE IS… Wait, that sounds like two things. Yes, it does. So which is it? Advertising? Or organizing the world's information? Both. It has to do the second to do the first. GOOGLE IS… “The remarkable thing about these software mega- brands is that they employ bright, forward-looking technologists and have unprecedented access to capital and development resource — they leave no stone unturned in their quests to expand into relevant future markets.” Mar 25, 2010, “The Green Battle: Microsoft and Google Fight for Our Energy Data,” Alix Vance on The Scholarly Kitchen (Society for Scholarly Publishing’s Blog) http://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2010/03/25/the- green-battle-microsoft-and-google-fight-for-our-energy-data/ GOOGLE IS… “Google's overriding interest is to (a) maximize the amount and velocity of the traffic flowing through the web and (b) ensure that as large a percentage of that traffic as possible goes through its search engine and is exposed to its ads.

  • 2012 the Year of HTML5 White Paper V1 (Reviewed) (ID 2899).Indd
    A CAPLIN WHITE PAPER 2012: The Year of HTML5 BY PAUL CAPLIN www.caplin.com FEBRUARY 2012 One of the most striking things about the coming year is its unpredictability. What’s going to happen to the Eurozone? Who is going to be in the White House? Will the global economy recover? What will happen in Iran? There is uncertainty everywhere you look. But in the world of software at least, one thing looks like a safe bet: in 2012, HTML5 will emerge as the world’s favourite GUI technology and, in particular, the tool of choice for building Web trading applications. This white paper explains why this is going to happen, and why it’s a good thing.
